Leaflets are also an enormous waste of paper and energy printing to produce + state paid postage not climate aware. Hopefully someone elected will legislate for 'No leaflets' for future Irish Seanad Elections (after the General Elections - Election leaflets and posters there also)....🫶#Seanad2025

Hello... Seanad Leaflets☺️. Hoping for less in future and Digital. Candidate's campaign info is already online on websites and socials. Leaflets are duplication, unnecessary cost and go in people's bins. I hope someone elected can legislate for no leaflets for future Seanad Elections.... 🫶#Seanad2025

Seanad Labour panel first count: Robbie Gallagher (FF) elected. Gerard Craughwell (Ind), Patricia Stephenson (SD), Chris Andrews (SF) all just shy of the quota. 11 seats in this. #SE25 #Seanad2025

A recount of the last count has been called in the Seanad Agricultural panel after Labour's Angela Feeney was eliminated by 0.1th of a vote. Agonising. #Seanad2025

Well done @hazelchu.bsky.social on a great campaign! #Seanad2025
Commiserations to @hazelchu.bsky.social whose recount today did not go in her favour. To the naysayers who say she’s not wanted in Irish politics, she came fourth place in a hugely competitive race. It was extremely tight. She’ll live to fight another day.

Congratulations Senator Victor Boyhan, elected on first count of agricultural panel, extremely hard working, we're lucky to have you. Good to also have a survivor of mother and baby homes to counter a person who voted to seal the records, yet topped the poll. #Seanad2025 #ShortMemories

A colleague has described the closing stages of the Trinity College #Seanad2025 election count as "lit" and they're not wrong tbqh docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

As #Seanad25 begins to take shape, I’m thinking of our longest serving Senator who served with such distinction between 1987-2024.

David Norris is the embodiment of what the Seanad should be and used it to great effect.

A shining legacy. 🏳️‍🌈

I'm one of the great unwashed who are not permitted to vote in these elections. That's because we can't be trusted to make sensible decisions like this.

Good morning from the NUI count in the RDS 👋

Here are the results from the first count.

Michael McDowell has been deemed elected.

The count continues 🗳️ #SE25 #Seanad2025

A very credible 4th place for @evadowling.bsky.social in the NUI Seanad Election :

Michael McDowell 11,390 (Elected)
Rónán Mullen 7,452
Alice Mary Higgins 6,872
Eva Dowling 3,239

Definitely something to build on here. #Seanad2025

TCD Seanad tally via WLR's Damien Tiernan

So, uh, the Greens probably would have had a very good chance at a seat if they didn't run two candidates, right?

They could in theory still get one, but this is the worst kind of vote split you could get for this level of FPV
